i said console only runners should not vote on pc exclusive rulings, thats not a contraverscial opinion the people i was refereing to only had console runs on theier src page obviously if they run this game on pc their opinion matters in pc rulings.

re7 is a shit run and ill take that to my grave, but thats just my opinion yo, dont like it then dont listen to it.

either way im done talking about it, ill come back when i actually figure something out if i ever do

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

yea i brought it up to someone who has more knowledge than me in cheat engine? i did it publically in that thread because i assumed that there would potentially be people visiting that thread specifically with that kind of knowledge, that seems obvious, and the tweet was to gauge intrest in the idea from speedrun twitter, also hoping to reach out to people who may know how. i learned a lot from reaching out. idk why yall are being so confrontational

its only a sugguestion for a potential option

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

well again, i didnt bring it up

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

im not flipping the coin i just dont think i can properly defend the position without having the logistics figured out because people do get hung up on said logistics, if someone wants to play the intro its not like im gonna change their mind, but if i have everything set on a platter and provide a valid option that requires no leaps of faith people are way more likely to compromise. thats exactly what mike did with 3make and it worked, now most of the high level runners run pretty much exclusively no intro.

so thats all really i just dont think its worth talking about until its even proven possible.

but yea that game is sick and either way i will have a lot of fun with it for a while, just longer without the intro ;)

there are several people who do want a no intro category, but it is much to early to discuss it, with no actual way of doing it at the moment the logistics not being there. There isnt much that can even be argued either way. hense why i didnt make the thread

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

yea definetely thats why i didnt start the thread i wanted to get some things in motion before bringing the idea to the public because it would need to have all those factors considered before the idea should be presented tbh. i tried some processes of making it but all have failed so i am asking people with knowledge of cheat engine for help

regular runs will take infinetely longer to optomize because the run will be bogged down in low execution W holding, and yes significantly differing categories ie VOS, casual, standard, and hardcore. I dont see why you all are so opposed to options, i say we just wait and see if anyone can come up with a viable method of actually doing so then the community can decide from there, the moderators can obviously decide how that is handled. this is all predicated on the assumption that a solution will actually show its self wich it may not, all i know is that if it wont i definetely will enjoy the run much less and many people will drop the run because of the egrigious intro

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

well if they cant run the category why would their vote matter? i only said if the no intro happens to only work on pc, its not an attack on console runners

it would be the same thing if it was a argument over fps caps console cant run at higher than whatever the default is so they shouldnt have a say in that either it doesnt affect them

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

all i see is 2 console runners who it wont effect, complaining they wont be able to do it (potentially). and its 6 minutes every reset, that adds up really fast you of all people should know that. once again its simply an option that only requires initial work from the moderators then submissions would be exactly the same as before, although it doesnt really matter until a method of doing so is resolved then we can hold some sort of vote, though if its only possible on pc i would advice only pc runners can vote

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

nothing is lost by having an additonal cateogory or filter, if people want it then let them have it not everyone wants to waste 6 minutes every reset holding W. people have lives and jobs if you fail the intro in VOS then you will be resetting 6 minutes every single time potentially leading to wasting a half hour over 3 tries. There is no downside in having an additional category or filter for those who want it. Most dedicated runners when they grow tired of the reset will want something like it evenetually just like in re3 remake, almost none of the top runners run full game anymore because the intro just makes it egregious, especially on inferno. as long as you dont skip any meaningful descision making or execution than i dont see a reason to contest it. as far as consoles go well depending on the way its set up they may be shit out of luck but its not liek that is anything new, console runners are already going to be fucked with pay to win since it will be RTA, plenty of games have tech like this exclusive to PC. again though its just an alternate option you can always just chose to run the full game with the intro if you want. as far as applying that to other sections, i think you are reaching. people just want to play the game without having to hold w for 6 minutes i dont think anyone actually wants to skip any portions of the game besides the initial intro, its a slippery slope argument that i think is weak. besides logistically those other options are probably not possible

also i would like to poitn out that every capcom game has about a bazilion categories so no matter what its gonna look like a hot mess so may as well get something good from it.

@TheCinephile that was what i tried before unfortunately the save data is encrypted and tied to eitehr creation time or the steam of the creator most liekly both, you cant even replace the save data with alternate saves from your own folder it doesnt recognize them and it can and sometimes will invalidate your whole save folder causing the game to launch in a state as if you never launched it before. my solution to this would be for someone to create something with cheat engine to manually create a save without having to use a typwriter i know this to be possible in other games like halo mcc hense why i asked the srt forum

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

no intro would be a phenominal option, personally i think no gameplay that has routing descisions should be skipped ie starting when you grab the knife there is an autosave there, the problem remains that altering save files is not possible at the moment it invalidates your whole save folder the only option to d something like that. This leave the only option the creation of a save tool to create a custom save there or soemthing. I would be willing to settle for a save at the church tho if thats the last resort

Phoenix, AZ, USAWaifu3 years ago

so idk if you would really want to open this can of worms but i did some extensive testing with the save files, we found where they are but it seems that you cannot change them at all, any value changes cause them to not be read by the game at all. If you replace the files they also do not get read changing some files invalidate the whole folder itself causing the game to launch in a never been launched before state. I originally had the idea to just send a friend a save file for practicing or even replacing the auto save for a potential no intro category but it seems that unless someone could figure out how to de encrypt the files and make them work when being transfered this is a dead end. This leads me to my only other lead potentially manipulating the game into creating personal saves whenever you want. Not sure if this is within your means or even something you care about but could be a potential solution to a no intro category (my idea being make a save right before you pick up the knife) if you have any more questions let me know thanks <3 - discord - Waifu#9281

Dont know if this is accurate but in dmc5 you can skip cutscenes faster at higher fps or with better hardware because they load in information mid cutscene should be tested if going rta potential fix would be rta l;aodless but it also p[auses on cutscenes

Hi i was looking into running this game on pc and i was wondering if there is some compiled information about what is alloud and what may apply in this game regarding the pc version. For instance i hear that if you play at a high fps then the game physics break and sometimes if vsynch isnt on then you can soft lock. Is this true? i also heard that load times are tied to fps. if thats the case this game desperately needs a load remover or a capped fps rule.

lol people if you dont have a time on the board, or dont even plan on it why are you here. no one cares about your opinion if you dont have a run up. If you do then this obviously dosent apply to you. :)
